    I love it! I find myself going back to the oldies all the time. Just the other day I was introducing my girl to Patsy Cline and Robert Johnson. By the way, thanks for the recommendation on the book, I couldn’t find it at our local book store so I ordered it at Amazon. Sounds like a great read.

    Honestly, I thought they started even earlier than that.
